As far as I know, all translation work to date (of the upstream
messages, not the debconf templates) was done by various upstream
maintainers, and I don't have any good way of finding out whether or
not they're still active. Looking at the last modification dates in
upstream version control, it appears to me that the ja, pt_BR, fr, and
possibly es translations are abandoned, but the it, sv, and de
translations are not. I apologize for not doing this check before
posting the request.
